Saturday, May 1 – Friday, May 7 | Presented Virtually
This year The New York Botanical Garden’s much-anticipated Antique Garden Furniture Fair will be presented virtually. The weeklong public event, May 1–May, 7, features unique offerings from leading antique dealers, including classic furniture and fine garden antiques—some with a modern twist, both elegant and inspiring—for the home and garden.
Contact Thao Phan at tphan@nybg.org or 718.817.8774 to purchase tickets for exclusive access to the Collectors’ Plant Auction where one can bid on the choicest plant selections curated and handpicked by NYBG’s expert horticulturists. Proceeds support NYBG and its premier horticultural programs.
Festivities begin on April 29 with an exclusive Preview Party featuring Special Guest Martha Stewart and an opportunity for guests to take part in a live Q&A. Preview Party supporters receive earliest access to the Fair’s exhibitor offerings and exclusive access to the Collectors’ Plant Auction, a curated collection of exquisite and beautifully grown garden plants handpicked by NYBG’s horticultural staff.
NYBG’s Antique Garden Furniture Fair is the ideal virtual venue for finding design inspiration for your home and garden, learning about garden antiques, and building personal collections. Peruse the offerings of the Fair’s extraordinary dealers through Friday, May 7, 12 p.m.
